Iser Yosifcovich Kuperman (April 21, 1922 - March 6, 2006) è stato uno dei più grandi giocatori di dama al mondo. Nacque in Ucraina nel lontano 1922. Da giovane decise di dedicarsi agli scacchi, sperando di ottenere risultati importanti. Il destino però volle che proprio cercando un'aula in cui si doveva tenere una lezione di scacchi, incappò in una lezione di dama: il giovane Iser vide un problema alla lavagna e dopo pochi minuti lo risolse. Da quel momento decise che si sarebbe dedicato alla dama.I risultati di quest'uomo sono stati straordinari.Prima divenne campione nazionale di dama russa per circa 6 volte. Poi passò alla dama internazionale (100 caselle), disciplina in cui riuscì a vincere il titolo di campione del mondo per ben 7 volte (1958, 1959, 1961, 1963, 1965, 1967, e 1974).
